Unpacking Listening, the 12th Unpacking conference, will challenge delegates to reflect on the ways in which listening and silences operate within early years curriculum.

Guest speakers include: Kari Carlsen (Norwegian Reggio Emilia Network), William Yang (internationally renowned Australian artist) with Aunty Noeline Briggs-Smith (educator and advocate), Professor Sue Dockett (Charles Sturt University), Kirsty Liljegren (Victoria) and Associate Professor Jane Torr (Macquarie University).http://www.vitta.org.au/events/event/vce-and-vet-day-review-refresh-and-stimulateCome and hear experienced and talented teachers outline the essentials of VCE IT and VET IT.

These learning communities encourage sharing of skills and ideas about ICT and education. Their key role is to increase the amount of ICT professional learning available to teachers/educators in a particular region. Their direction will be dependent on the needs and interests of those involved in the group. Generally, they will be set up in areas where there is limited or no other ICT professional learning opportunities.http://www.imoot.org/The 2nd International Moot for all things to do with Moodle will be conducted entirely online.
